Entertaining mysteries listening 🎶🔰
This was free on Amazon.

January 1, 2016I specifically went looking for a book like this, I'd had a flashback to the paperbacks I used to borrow from the library as a teen and wanted to see if I could find anything like them now. The stories are very short, but all the details are in there for solving the mystery before you turn the page and get the answer.
This is a short book, only five mysteries, but enough to make me want more! Great job with the writing. I must admit, I couldn’t solve one.
Thank you Mr. Rogers for reminding me of a genre I loved as a teen. One that I will continue to read. Great job with the writing!!

Three Minute Mysteries
I really enjoyed this book. The mysteries were short but you really had to pay attention to the little details in order to solve the mysteries. Thanks!

Five short mystery stories make up the Three-Minute Mysteries Bonus Pack by Stephen D. Rodgers. Each short mystery is designed to give the reader enough clues to solve the case. Once you think you have the mystery figured out, you turn the page, and see if the solution is the one you came up with to solve the case.
Store owner Alice Mendoza needs to forget about her insurance claim to focus on the questions of Police Detective Carol Simmons. In “Think Globally, Steal Locally” an armed robbery of a store that specializes in hand-crafted items from all over the world has few suspects.
Stacy is the new widow in “A Dying Clue.” Detective Laura McKinley has to figure out what role, if any the restaurant partly owned by Stacy’s husband, Matt, played in the death.
The Boss is dead in “Cream of The Crop.” Detectives Wilson and Handler have to go figure out who killed Mr. Baldwin at work.
As in the first tale, robbery is also the subject of the “All-Knowing Eye” where Detective Pamela Yates tries to catch the thief that hit the Nyman House. A character name change part of the way through the story is not a clue though the error does mar the read a little bit.
It is a far different world than Officer Dana Cooke is used to as she does perimeter duty in “Models of Bad Behavior.” Blending into the background and being ignored by several suspects who just can’t be quiet could be a very good thing for her career wise.
The tales in the Three-Minute Minute Mysteries Bonus Pack are all good ones. Author Stephen D. Rodgers makes sure that there are multiple possible suspects in each tale who are capable of various crimes. An entertaining and fast read, the book moves quickly and offers quite a few surprises.

Amazon reports that I picked this up in the middle of August to read and review. I have no idea now how I came across it, but am sure I saw it online somewhere.

I loved this book! It reminded me of the Encyclopedia Brown books I read as a kid where you get a chance to figure it out. I guessed three of the five :-D It was a nice, quick read. I think I'll definitely be picking up the others.

Really short. Quick little brain exercises to see how well you remember what you read. Fun as a distraction, but not much more...

Quick thoughts: Five bite sized, solvable mysteries that are good for getting an idea of what's in the authors larger collections. I love these kinds of shorts, and these were good.

Entertaining.
Good read - though a smidge predictable. I did find it entertaining none the less. I would recommend it to others.

I'm being a bit generous in saying that you get enough information to solve three out of five of the mysteries. Even with those, though, you're assuming that the information that you've been given is all the information that the characters in the story know as well. The other two definitely required some reading between the lines and could have easily, based on reading between the lines, turned out differently.
I would not recommend this book, although when I got it, it was free, so at least you won't be wasting any money. In stories such as these, I want to know that I've been given all the information necessary to solve the mystery myself. Even if I do not solve the case myself, I want to be able to go back, read the story again, and see where I missed the clues. With this, that didn't always happen.
As a warning, there are several typos in the book. It distracted from the text, and in at least one case, I still wasn't completely sure what the sentence was supposed to say.

Poorly Edited, No Mysteries Here
This book may have been easier to read without all of the typos. Despite the poor editing and the editorial writing, each mystery is solved using no brainpower, only left field theories. Would not recommend.

Road trip
My family and I were able to find the mystery together. I'm going to have to find another book for next road trip.

Interesting
I had a hard time solving some of them. Some I did not solve. Not as easy as you think.
